    Slowly But Surely...

    Hey guys, I took some pictures today after I clay bared the car so I figured id post em up. By the time I got done it was already getting dark. I don't post much on hear about the car so I guess ill make a list of what ive done to it since I picked it up a few months ago.


    Upgrades

    - C3 coilover kit

    - Late plastic front bumper

    - Late front lower valence

    - Euro bumper trim

    - IS lip

    - Smoked front turn signals

    - ACS shift knob

    - Autopage alarm

    - German check panel

    - Rota RB's (16x8 +20)

    - Toyo T1R's (215/40-16)


    DIY Mods

    - Smoked kidneys

    - a/c delete

    - Removed old tint

    - obc delete

    - Cruise control delete

    - Removed back seat

    - Removed rear emblems

    - Blacked out fog deletes

    - Blacked out brake ducts

    - Tucked rear bumper











    So far the project is slowly coming together. I still have to paint the brake ducts and fog deletes. After that im gonna start moding the rear plastic bumper so I can get that guy on there. I have wheels ordered as well but im still waiting on those. Once the cosmetics are done I plan to start an m30 swap. Let me know what you guys think.

        Car can't be that bad looking to take pictures of it in the dark. And tomorrow before you take pictures of it clean your wheel wells :p .

              Ouch tough crowd.. j/k.. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow morning. I noticed the dirty wheel wells after I had taken the pics. That's one more thing to add to the list.

              Thanks Dustin, It took some work but it turned out pretty decent in the end. Don't worry about the extra bend man. Im just glad you hooked me up like you did. Thanks again dude.

                Alright here are some better pictures. I took them in the morning before work. The paint looks a lot better after the clay bar but I still need to wax the whole thing. Once the car is all detailed I plan on repainting the rockers and doing the shadow line mod. Let me know what you guys think.

                    Hokay, mang...check this out. I bought my GF an '89 325i.

                    It looked like hell when we brought it home. 10X worse than yours.



                    When I took it to my detailer, I took a shot of it with just half of the hood buffed.


                    I think you should take it to a real detailer and have it buffed.

                    Your car would look sofa-king hot. Your paint might actually look as good as that engine bay!

                      Thats pretty crazy man. If yours came out that good im pretty confident that mine will turn out good as well. Once I get the car waxed and detailed i'll take some new pictures.

                        what's going on the intake area?

                        that's not all stock is it?

                              Yup thats all stock. I did remove the cruise control though. Other than that the whole area is stock.


                              Thanks for the kind words guys. I will hopefully have the diving board pushed in before bimmerfest. Thanks again.
